Book a Workshop Today, earn a FREE Stamp Pad or Set!

Today Stampin’ Up! is having a world wide Bookathon. You all know I hate to make those phone calls where you ask people to book a workshop and for you that means FREE goodies! Book a workshop today and earn a FREE stamp pad  of your choice when you hold your qualifying workshop! Get a booking at your workshop and we’ll turn that free pad into a free stamp set of your choice, valued at $14.95! I know some of you would love to have a fun evening of holiday stamping with your friends, and you and your friends will be thrilled to have a chance to earn that FREE Big Shot I am giving away, so call me today to book your workshop! And for those of you who stop by a little later this week, yes, I’ll still honor this offer through 8 PM Sunday night (Oct 16th). Call me! 918-827-6148 or email

If you would like to book a Holiday Stamp a Stack (yes, the booking incentive applies!) These are three of the card choices for your stamp a stack.

What is a Hostess stamp a stack? Rather than a standard workshop where we do a couple of make and takes, your guests make multiple cards. You and your guests stamp 25 cards for $25 and as the hostess you get to keep the stamps, pads and other tools that are used to make the cards! It’s a great option for hostesses who would rather offer a stamp camp type event as opposed to a traditional workshop. Call me and we’ll plan a camp for you! The more campers you have attending the more you earn!

The sounding joy

Hostess Offer Fine Print!

We will order your free item on your workshop when we place the final order. Your workshop must total $150 in sales to be a qualifying workshop and receive the pad as well as hostess benefits. All workshops must be held between now and November 30th.

Thanks for looking!

Candy Bar Wrapper Video!

Halloween candy bar wrapper

Oh My! I have managed to create my first video, but I had no idea just how involved it would be. The whole process has been very time consuming for me, because I started from scratch! I had to learn how to use the camera and figure out how to mount it upside down over my desk, figure out lighting, learn editing software, you tube, and then how to embed it into my blog! So if you have been wondering where I have been, between this adventure, a few big family events and a stomach bug …… There were days that I was wondering the same thing myself! It’s good to be back!

Isn’t this little bat cute? I saw one that used a pattern  that was printed off and then cut out. I wasn’t sure how the ink would show up on black paper, but I also knew it would be easy to do using punches! So here is the final result of several adventures over the last couple of weeks.

My first video presentation for my blog.  I should explain that I hate most of it! Every frame is a lesson in what NOT to do next time, but it took so long to get to this point, there was no way that I was going to start over! The project is cute and fun though, and the video explains it well enough. I will be adding more videos and hopefully they will get better as I go along. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Gently Falling Birthday

Gently falling

I designed this card with Darlingman’s birthday in mind.  It ended up with a little too much froufrou, but I gave it to him anyway! He didn’t seem to mind the girly touches.

This card had a lot of steps, but nothing very difficult. The two step set makes it easy to create the leaves, by just sponging  the additional colors directly on the base stamp and then stamping the outline image over the top. Love, love, love this spice cake designer paper!

Out on a Limb

out on a limb

I made these fun little cello toppers for our new 1×8 cello bags from the Holiday mini catalog.  I am going to make more of these for the holidays. They are easy and adorable and I know they will appeal to the kiddos, because I have had to rescue them from Aubrey several times. Before I got to take pictures. I tried to offer her some treats in one of the little bags, but she insisted on having one with the topper!

You could make them a little simpler, by just stamping on a white card stock and skip all the cutting. I am thinking we’ll make these for stamp camp next week.

Another Haunted Forest

haunted forest

Here is another card that I made using the Haunted Forest image. Another demonstrator dared me to use up some of the “extra” pieces on my desk from the previous days creative session ( thanks Judy!). I end up with a lot of those. Pieces that are created when what is going on in my head doesn’t translate to paper in the way that I thought it would.

I played with this piece originally without the sponging, but the image got a little lost in the DSP.  It really was a different creative process for me, to start with a piece that I had to use and then build the rest of the card around that. It was fun though, and I may revisit this card design because I have already come up with a couple of touches that I wish I would have added!

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Stocking

Holiday Stocking

How cute is this little Christmas Stocking? There are lots of little goodies that can be tucked inside. The best part  is that you don’t need a pattern or a lot of cutting. There is a new die in the holiday mini catalog that will cut them out for you! There is an accent die, also. I used it to make the holly berry decoration on the stocking. I will be using these a lot this season!

Thanks for looking!
